I have a bit of an obsession with magazine racks, especially the old-school wood ones. While I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across the perfect rack for my guest bathroom. Yes. I said BATHROOM. Every bathroom in my home (other than the kids’ bath) has its own fully-stocked magazine rack. I don’t know about you guys, but the only privacy I seem to have these days is when I lock myself up in the john. Why not use the time to catch up on my reading? 🙂

This super sturdy rack caught my eye at a Salvation Army in Wesley Chapel, FL. |

Lucky for me it was blue tag day, so I snatched this up for $3.50 |

Here she is after two coats of Annie Sloan Provence. |

I decided not to distress this piece. I loved it just the way it was. |
 |
I used only Clear Wax. |
 |
Here it sits, in its new home, the Powder Room, fully stocked with local magazines. Perfect for when our out-of-town guests come to visit. |

I love the color you chose. You're right, there is no better privacy in the house than the bathroom. Sometimes I even just lock the door and sit on the floor with a towel and hide and read…LOL! Thanks for sharing!

Love this! I do believe I have one of these in storage. The color is great. I would wipe on, wipe off a bit of smoky glaze but that's just me.
